I've never paid tax (actually not true, one year I did as I didnt claim for all expenses as wanted to get a mortgage)

I calim for EVERYTHING, it is easier for me as have no children at home, so everything child related goes against tax.

And yes have been audited and passed

PinkChick · 02/08/2008 14:46

well i earned about £15'000, could claim for £5000 ish..how on earth does anyone get it down so low not to pay tax????

I must admit I do three round trips of 10 miles a day for school runs in the September Term and 2 round trips the rest of the time, at 40p a mile it soon adds up.

Plus as we are rural we have to go further a feild for most activites so have a HUGE mileage claim.

Plus I claim for all food, for two meals a day for 3 children and breakfast and snacks for up to 4 more.

Expenses for equipment, toys, toilitries comes to quite a bit, I do put alot back into my busisness.

MrsFluffleHasAWuffle · 02/08/2008 15:05

32k is your income then not your profit cmnft totally different things

Pinkchick is that 10-11k your income in total or your profit ( with expenses already taken off?)

personal tax allowance this year is £6350 and everything after that is at 20%.

hth

MrsFluffleHasAWuffle · 02/08/2008 15:06

Sorry Pinkchick, you did say it was after expenses, didn't see.

There is a very good list of what you can claim knocking around somewhere on a CM forum, I'll see if I can link to it

PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:08

ooh 20%!!!!!!!!!!!! had not been informed of that(or have i been not listening??)..iearned £15'000say, i took £5'00ish off for expenses, equiptment so on, so left approx with £10'000?

OP posts:
PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:09

Sokay Mrs..so do i deduct the £6350? as the other £5k(when it was £15k) has already gone/come back in via food/repair/toys etc

OP posts:
PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:11

Wow, if its based on the remainder of my balance it is just over £1100!!!

childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2734

that should work!

And check this one out too www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/BIM52751.htm

And this is very interesting re Mortgage interest relief - I know we can claim portion of rent but now it seems we could claim portion of mortgage too

www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/BIM45745.htm
Which is all very interesting!

PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:20

ok, just checked my acocunt online, im only about £40 off that amount(if that IS the amount i have to pay, wont really know until i do it online i guess)..bit gutted though as i thought i had saved way above what i needed, my ignorance i guess, just glad i DID save that much

OP posts:
PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:23

that Mrs, will ready those later when more time, but quickly glanced..did that say we can claim mortgage interest?

OP posts:
MrsFluffleHasAWuffle · 02/08/2008 15:25

yup Pinkchick as I said above sorry!

so if you are left with 10k and take off the 6350, you are being taxed at 20% on whatever is left.

Read the above links and see if you can claim for anything else to bring it down. Don't forget that if you have bought secondhand and bootsale stuff you don't need reciepts and also small purchases under £10 you don't need to provide reciepts for, so make sure you ahev rememebred all those little things you have bought or make some up!! ooh no I didn't say that!

PinkChick · 02/08/2008 15:27

LOL..thats what my business advisor said to me when he told me the amount you can earn before submitting receipts had gone up to £30k+..dopnt know if i could do that...

OP posts:
MrsFluffleHasAWuffle · 02/08/2008 15:28

Yup Pink ( may I call you Pink? lol)

there are examples on hwo to work it out here www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/BIM45750.htm

Shoshe · 02/08/2008 15:29
